First Dates

Remove all ads!

O.K., I want to know the coolest thing that you ever did for a first date. Don't tell me anything like dinner/movie or "I took him/her to a club, ect." I'm looking for origionality here. Something that really makes it stand out. The gates are open, have fun

 

Maybe the ladies here could help a lot. Ladies?

 

How old are you and your date?

 

This wasn't technically a 'first' date, but I took my 'wife to be' sky-diving once. We both had fun, but probably won't do it again.

 

Went round her house and made out in front of our friends (mind you it was just snogging, and real close hugging etc. No nudity or sex involved)

 

8th grade, went to a party and made out, after that, we went to the pool and made out there.

 

Whats 8th grade in terms of years old?

 

probably fourteen or fifteen years old

 

First Date Ever: I was like 12 or 13. We went to see "The Dark Crystal." We went out for pizza afterwards. That was the best I could think back then.

Best (or most fun) date: I met a girl while on vacation in Florida two summers ago. I flew back down to take her out the following October to Halloween Horror Nights (Universal Studios in Florida sets up a bunch of Haunted Houses and mazes in a section of the theme park. So in addition to some of the rides they have there, they add spooky music and a whole lot of fog! The section of Universal they used was a replica of an old city.)

We went on all the rides, and walked through the Haunted Houses/mazes - always good for a first date! Lots of screaming, hand holding, and laughing!

 

My first date was when I was twelve. It wasn't the official kind though. A young man down the street had a crush on me, and we hung out a lot. One day he stole his mom's check book (unbenounced to me) and took me up to our local restraunt for a cup of hot choclate and a cinnamon role.

He got in a lot of trouble for doing that, his mom said he should have asked for the money. I figured it this way, he went to a lot of trouble to do something really nice for me, so he must have really liked me a lot.

Most romantic date was when my boyfriend took me out to dinner and to see a play in an old theater called The Stone Soup. He bought me a dozen roses and a made me a daquri before we left. It was raining out and I had decided to wear a dress. Let's just say I was caried over several large puddles during the night. Later that night we went back to his apartment to dry off in front of his fireplace while talking, listening to some of our favorite music, and siping wine.

Wait, wait, wait. I think I need to rephrase. Not the FIRST date you ever had. No, here's the deal. This is the first time I'm going out with this particular girl. I'd really like to do something different and make a good first impression. However, I've never been too creative when it comes to first dates(I generally get better later(if it lasts that long) once I know her tastes better). I'm just trying to think of something that isn't over the top but still diffrent than the norm.

 

IMHO - I think first dates should be fun, something you can do together...To get to know one another better.

Now what that thing happens to be, all depends on the person you're going out with, what they like, dislike (always try to stay away from things they don't like...History has shown this is extremely detrimental to the dating experience)

Whether it's dancing, theatre, art, bowling, billiards, hockey games, hiking, kayaking, kickboxing, or just the standard dinner and a movie. I think the key to a first date is all about being laid back, having fun, and listening/getting to know the person you're with. It makes it easier to decide if you want to see that person again.

Good luck!

 

Gotta save the private dinner for a little later, Blackthorne. I don't want to throw away my trump card on the first date Besides, that "dinner at a guys apartment on a first date" thing might make some people a little uncomfortable. Don't know why, but I've sensed that talking to friends in the past. But if you are interested, I'm a copout. I went with the movie for a first date this time. Sad, but at least it worked. But it was a long drive there and back(went out of town to the cloesest decent theater-40 min drive, 80 min round trip), so at least we got to talk a lot. She's a really cool, interesting girl. Best time I've had on a first date in a long time. Very much looking forward to seeing her again. This post deserves to end with a lot of green smilies for a change

I agree with Blackthorne TA, after all, my first date consisted of a movie and a meal.

 

The only problem with a movie as a first date is that you cannot talk to each other. Of course that's not an issue when you're driving 40 minutes to get there.

Dinner is great, it's simple, conversation friendly, and you can always be creative in your choice of restaurant. Try a theme restaurant, or a foreign one. Dinner at home is not usually a good idea, unless it's with another couple. It's just too intimate for two people who aren't really comfortable with each other yet. Although later ... Any man who can cook well gets bonus points!!

 

Make sure you are using your best table manners when on a dinner date. I like the added bonus of me having spaghetti sauce on my tie and face. Or when the waiter(ess) takes my plate away there is a perfect circle of food where my plate used to be. I'm not the most graceful eater (especially when I'm hungry)

One other tip - don't forget your wallet. I did that once after making some comments to my date about ordering anything on the menu. I failed to notice my folly until the bill came. How embarrassing. Luckily it wasn't a first date, that would have been bad.

 

ROTF! And I thought that only happened in movies! That's classic!

 

Food is cool. Even better, coz i get all my food free from my boss at the pub, so he lets us stick around on Staurday after everyone's gone. I have to work extra the next day though...
